The bass bug bit Matt Volpe hard in his last year of high school upon hearing Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eric Avery from Jane’s Addiction, and Joe Lally from Fugazi. Matt started playing bass in his NYU college dorm at age 19.  He has not put down the instrument since.  As his musical tastes expanded to jazz, dub, r & b, and metal, it became clear to him he needed to play bass, not just wanted to play bass. His first band was with the Elevens, a rock/pop group formed with college friends. A more serious venture began when he later joined the NYC underground art metal band Shirley Temple of Doom, where he grew not only as a bassist but as a songwriter. After 10 years and 3 full-length albums later, Matt left STD to pursue other musical opportunities.  He did a one off improv record with an art rock improv band he helped form named Blanche Mayhem. He appeared as a session bassist for the GODSPELL 2000 soundtrack on Universal Records. He later joined a Williamsburg, Brooklyn alt rock outfit named Slim Francis. Matt then became a member of the female fronted punk/pop band, Pucker.  He later joined a children’s music extravaganza band, Baze and His Silly Friends. He plays bass and records occasionally with his cousin’s rock project, The Ed Volpe Band. Matt has recorded with acclaimed television composer, John Angier. From 2010 to the fall of 2012, Matt was the bass player for Atom Strange, an alt rock band from NYC that specializes in “HI-FI SCI-FI” rock music which combines many musical genres.  Matt formed a composing team with Peter DiStefano (Porno for Pyros called biCoastal Sounds in 2012.  Matt and Pete wrote, performed and produced music cues for licensing in film, television, video games and mobile media.  From 2017 to the 2020 Matt was the bass player/collaborator for the acclaimed NYC indie singer/songwriter, Mike Borgia.  Matt is currently the bassist for his new band DMV_B, an avant-garde, punk/ jazz collaboration with Peter Distefano, Ray Mazza and Wendy Burke. In addition to his life in music, Matt is also a Senior Creative Writer/Producer/Editor/Director for MGM+/Amazon and lives with his wife and two sons in New Jersey.
